Obscure and unique humour monologues podcast from the early 21st century.. This show has a one-of-a-kind format whereby the host starts every segment with one of only four or five stock openings like "I know what you're thinking there" or "You join me at a trmendously exciting moment" with no idea how he will finish the sentence or what topics will emerge.
New listeners are asked to try later episodes first, as this show evovled slowly over hundreds of episodes. Show 500 onwards are better but they take another step upwards in quality around Show 800 (just after a seven year hiatus that ended in late 2023)
Into Your Head podcast created by Neal O'Carroll aka Neal from Ireland and sometimes Neal O Carroll - also creator of Matchstick Cats comics (See "Matchstick Cats webcoimcs - Complete Enough Collection")

ABOUT INTO YOUR HEAD
Into Your Head is / was an obscure and unique one man I sit-down comedy show by Neal O'Carroll. It began in 2006, temporarily retired from 2016 to 2023, then resumed and is still running as of July 2024. Original description of series:
When dry witted Irishman, acquired taste hobbiest humourist, socially awkward practically unheard-of legally blind cat obsessed underachiever and husband Neal O’Carroll ingests* a perfectly ordinary consumer-grade generic energy drink, something happens.
There emerges a silver-tongued* purveyor of comical monologues, absurd analogies, illogical yet impressively argued opinions and copious Two Cats walk into a Bar stories.
Each segment starts with no idea how the first sentence will end or what topics may emerge. It’s a ludicrious creative non-method inspired partly by classic BBC panel show Just a Minute, praticed and honed over eighteen years and 800 episodes.
Yet here we are, in 2024, trying to retro-actively construct a narrative around it, like it’s the label for a micro-brewary beverage. Not to mention referring to ourselves in both the third person singular and the first person plural.
